A little help remembering — and then doing.

h.3re.app is a simple browser reminder tool. It helps you keep track of things and reminds you when the time comes, so you don’t have to hold them in your head.

It currently offers:

• Two ready-made scenarios
  – Movement routines: follow a complete set of exercises when the reminder arrives.
  – Desk booking: get reminded to book your desk or seat.
• Three flexible timer options
  – Countdown with minutes and seconds
  – Countdown with hours and minutes
  – Set a reminder for a specific time

Everything runs directly in your computer browser. No extra app needed.

Open h.3re.app and let it handle the timing.

1. Minimal demands on your attention.
No irrelevant content, no distracting ads, and no unnecessary demands on your time or attention.

2. Your privacy is protected by design.
Tracking can come from many places — hosting infrastructure, third-party scripts, analytics, or advertising services — not only from the site owner.
3RE handles your personal data with a Privacy by Design approach. We avoid third-party tracking and advertising technologies that monitor your online activities.
Your activity on our tools (including reminders on h.3re.app) is kept to a minimum.

Simple tools. Less distraction. Less unnecessary tracking.

Ideas, products, and designs move through a continuous cycle of reflecting, refining, and reimagining — each step informing the next and shaping how we live.

We believe the value of an idea lies not only in its creation, but in our choice to recognize what is worth holding and put it into practice — for the well-being of people and society.

Reflect. Observe what is around us and notice what matters.
Refine. Turn selected promising ideas into simpler and effective approaches.
Reimagine. Explore new possibilities and turn concepts into tools and solutions.

At 3RE we bring ideas and practical needs together. We reflect on what exists, refine what can work better, and reimagine what becomes possible — then build simple tools that respect people’s attention and privacy.

Ideas matter. What we do with them matters, too.

Privacy by Design: A Pioneering Idea from Canada

At 3RE, echoing Privacy by Design (PbD), pioneered by Canadian privacy expert Dr. Ann Cavoukian, we believe that privacy should be considered from the beginning of product design, not added as an afterthought.

Collect Less
We aim to minimize unnecessary data collection through coding and design choices, following the need-to-know principle: collect only what is genuinely necessary for a product to serve its purpose.

Protect More
We work to reduce hidden data collection from infrastructure, third-party scripts, plugins, and other embedded services. Separate subdomains also help keep different 3RE projects and their data apart.

Keep Data Local
Reminders in h.3re.app stay in your own browser rather than on a server-side account. Voice announcements currently use the browser’s local speech synthesis so that no content is sent elsewhere — which is why the voice may sound less natural. After a future settings update, users will be able to express their preference.

Good design considers not only what a product can do, but how human-centred values can be put into practice.

Five Principles for a Kinder Ad Future

These five principles also resonate with Privacy by Design (PbD), extending a design philosophy that places privacy at the heart of technology into the broader question of how digital advertising can respect people.

• Respect over Control
  Help people choose, not push them.
• Expression over Guesswork
  Let people speak, not be predicted.
• Permission over Surveillance
  Respect choices, not watch in silence.
• Relevance over Noise
  Less ads. Better fit. Happier eyes.
• Reward over Exploitation
  Data shared, benefits returned.

The full article will explore this connection and the ideas behind the five principles.

Some ideas deserve more than recognition. They deserve to be put into practice.

3RE is the first software design product from Tentap Creations, developed independently. It began as a practical response to the health effects of prolonged sitting for office workers, and as an attempt to bring human-centred values and Human-Centered Design into everyday tools.

The name reflects three connected steps: Reflect on what matters, Refine ideas into useful approaches, and Reimagine what better design can make possible.

At 3RE, ideas are not meant to remain abstract. We bring thoughtful principles and practical needs together, turning them into simple tools that people can choose to use in their everyday lives.

3RE is part of Tentap Creations, where ideas, design, and practical problem-solving come together.
